A tiny, thread safe memory cache implementation which uses a LRU policy.

This implementation gives priority to simplicity of API. If you want to use a rich API, Use the LruCache in Android framework.

Cache is a interface.

It provides six methods as bellow.

• V get(K key) - Gets an value for the specified key.
• V put(K key, V value) - Puts an value in the cache for the specified key.
• V remove(K key) - Removes the entry for key.
• void clear() - Clears all the entries in the cache.
• int getMaxMemorySize() - Returns the max memory size of the cache.
• int getMemorySize() - Returns the current memory size of the cache.

LruCache's API is definitely simple.

Cache<String, String> cache = new LruCache<>();
cache.put("a", "A");

• Default cache item capacity is ten. You can change the capacity via constructor.
• Please override the getValueSize if you control memory size correctly.

BitmapLruCache is the class that specialized in caching Bitmap.

private static final Bitmap A = Bitmap.createBitmap(1, 1, ALPHA_8);

Cache cache = new BitmapLruCache();
cache.put("a", A);
